This Wednesday sees the launch of two new games on the Xbox live arcade, including the retro arcade space shooter, "Aces of the Galaxy".

Aces of the Galaxy,” is an old fashioned arcade adrenaline-pumping shoot-em-up that allows players to save the Universe from the wicked Skurgian Empire. Players annihilate enemy ships with an arsenal of upgradeable weapons including high-powered missile launchers, devastating torpedoes and the relentless chain gun. Battle intense waves of enemy Skurgians against a outer space backdrop, and choose to fight alone or join up with a friend at home or via Xbox LIVE.

The second of two games on offer this week is “Roogoo” a puzzle game. Players line up multiple platforms on different levels to allow shaped blocks to pass through and once enough stack up, that particular shape closes off. A simple premise becomes more complicated as Meemoos begin to obstruct players' paths and butterflies attempt to steal blocks away. Players must swivel, roll and boost their way through 45 puzzle-filled levels alone or with up to four friends in cooperative party mode play. For those with a more competitive spirit, “Roogoo” offers a two-player multiplayer mode over Xbox LIVE where players battle to solve the same puzzle and can build up attacks to defeat their competitors.

Both titles will be available on the 4th June, priced 800 Microsoft points.
